Dont make me create a definitive list.
All I know is that the list would also include horror comedy and multi-thread Twitter takedowns.
Its a great way to present real-world scenarios in a new light while keeping audiences on their toes.
On Hundred Years of Solitude / Netflix
Naturally, I also loveCien Anos de Soledad orOne Hundred Years of Solitude, if you failed Spanish.
However, it also recently made its way to Netflix as a two-part miniseries.
Sadly, it has fallen off as of writing, but that doesnt mean its no longer relevant.
In fact, its more relevant than ever.
That means that it must necessarily use the passing of time, Colombian time, as inspiration.
Its a dichotomy that lays out Colombias past real-life internal conflicts in stark detail.
Netflix
It also sounds way too familiar right now.
He symbolizes, perhaps, a weakened political party that lacks a foundation.
Hmm, that sounds familiar, too.
Well, that doesnt sound familiar,exactly, but itcould havebeen.
Im unsure whyCien Anos de Soledaddidnt last longer in Netflixs Global Top Ten.
Maybe the early extended tracking shot of a childs bare butt turned people off.
Maybe it was the book-faithful, unironic lusting of a full grown man after a prepubescent bride.
(They couldnt age up Remedios Moscote even alittlebit?)
Maybe its just because the series doesnt star Chris Hemsworth.
The book and series are a warning.
The book, too, is worth revisiting.
The writing doesnt feel stale or incomprehensible, like so much of your high school assigned reading.
The feather-light turns of phrase hold up for modern audiences, drawing them closer rather than shutting them out.
